This Season of Opportunity

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  John 1 

GOD came and walked among us.

HE will come again and walk among us. 

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1

GOD made Himself flesh so we could see Him, touch Him, interact with Him, and commune with Him. 
GOD did that for us.
And when He returned to Heaven for this season of opportunity, HE sent HOLY SPIRIT to testify to us that His coming WAS and IS true. 

GOD walked among us! And HE will again! 

Does this matter to you?

Day 11 – Praying

Day 11lightstock_266400_medium_lisa_jacobson-3833088107

Luke 11

In my absence will you read Luke 11 and send me an email or leave a comment drawn from your reading?
Luke 11 starts with what we have for as long as I can remember called The LORD’s Prayer.
Personally, I think it’s the Disciples’ prayer.
I urge you to hear YESHUA praying in John 17 and yes, by all means, study this prayer in Luke 11 and put these precepts into practice — daily in prayer.

Our love to you all.

21 Days to Hatch

Do you know a hen sits on her eggs, keeping them warm until they hatch? 
It takes about 21 days. I’ve not been sitting on this for 21 days but today I think it’s hatching time. Drum roll, please. Ta Da! img_4086-1

Here’s the TEXT that came to mind when I saw this some days ago on Facebook.

John 15:18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.

21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 
23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. 
25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’ 
26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me. 
27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning LINK

Okay. Now that you have read the TEXT, what about Christmas does the WORLD love?

Really Really Real

approximate read time: 1 minute

I’ve been reading John 14-17.  If you want to learn JESUS, read those chapters and all of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

But for now, back to John 17, in particular, these verses:

24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me. 26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.” SOURCE

Does your mind ever wander and you find yourself thinking, is He really coming back; is heaven really real; will I really go there when this body wears out and I leave it?

If we have the assurance of His Salvation within us, YES.
Yes, He really is coming back.
Yes, heaven is really, really, REAL.
Yes, we will go there IF we have been born again.  NicodemusJohn 3

We can not fathom HIM or heaven, but we try. bright-sun-shining-thru-clouds-862x485-1614795802

So who do we see JESUS to be in these passages?
The Saviour Who Loves Us. The Saviour Who actually WANTS us to be with HIM.

Are you somehow, not sure how, but somehow you just KNOW that you know that HE loves you?
Good!
Keep seeking HIM. Keep reading HIM and you will learn HIM.
That’s my mission. I hope it is yours too.
